  • Patent number: 11770991
    Abstract: A vehicle connection guidance system may include a sensor and a controller. The sensor is configured to be supported by a vehicle having a first width and a connection interface, the connection interface having a second width different than the first width and along which multiple connection points lie, wherein the sensor is to output steering angle signals. The Controller is configured to output presentation signals based upon the steering angle signals The presentation signals are to generate a visual presentation of a projected path of the width of the connection interface to an operator of the vehicle.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20220071079
    Abstract: A harvester may include a feeder house, a header mount interface proximate the feeder house; a header removably mounted to the feeder house by the header mount interface, the header having a mount interface for securing the header to a trailer; a sensor to output steering angle signals indicative of a steering angle of the harvester during an approach of the harvester carrying the header towards the trailer, and a controller to output control signals causing the display to overlay a representation of the mount interface on a real-time view of the approach.

  • Patent number: 11212953
    Abstract: A vehicle attachment carrier loading guidance system may include a sensor for being supported by vehicle supporting a removable attachment having a mount interface for interacting with a mount on an attachment carrier distinct from the vehicle, wherein the sensor is output steering angle signals. The system may further comprise a controller to output presentation signals based upon the steering angle signals. The presentation signals are to generate a visual representation of a projected path of the mount interface with respect to the mount.
